Chapter 2 Oh, that's naughty

Derek’s POV . I was waiting for Luna in the car because she had to go to the club, AGAIN. Finally, I felt her presence but instead of sitting in the back seat, she opened the door of the front seat and sat beside me. “Let’s go, Derek.”, She said casually. “Luna, why are you sitting in the front seat? I mean you never sit here.” “If we are going to pretend only on that night then Adams might get to know that I did everything on purpose. So, we have to start spending time together in public from now on.”, She explained. I didn’t say anything on that and started the engine of the car. *** “Would you like a drink?”, She asked. Currently, we were sitting in the VIP booths. Generally, Luna used to drink alone or with some random guys but from tonight she was going to drink with me. This was what she had said in the car. “Just water. I am driving, so I am not drinking.”, I politely declined her offer. “Good decision.”, She chuckled. Someone came over, taking our drinks orders, and soon bridging them back before leaving Luna and me for it. I was feeling a little awkward by staying near Luna alone. It was not like we're alone for the first time but this ‘pretending thing’ was making everything uncomfortable for me. “What are you going to wear for the party?” “I have a few suits but I guess I need to match your status instead of looking like your bodyguard. So, I will get one.” “Leave that. I will ask my designer to design one for you.” “No Luna, that is not required.” “Adams knows that I am very picky in choosing clothes. That’s why I always get all the clothes designed by my designer. And knowing that I asked my personal designer to design your suit, would pissed him off.” “Okay. But you don’t know my size or my taste.” “I know your size as well as your taste.” “And how’s that?” “We’ve stayed in the same packs, Derek. That's a different thing that we never get a chance to know each other but I have seen you half naked, multiple times.”, She winked playfully. “Those amazing eight packs and your sexy figures haven't been hidden from anyone.”, She added smirking. I laughed, shaking my head at her. She must have observed me closely during my training hours with the warriors. I had no idea how to react to that fact because being a werewolf, staying half-naked was part of our life. “So, you keep looking at my eight packs?”, I said, raising my brow at her, trying not to smirk. “Common Derek. It’s not my fault if my Beta trains every warrior, wearing just a boxer.”, She said, rolling her eyes. “But I started observing these things closely after Adams left.”, She added, nibbling on her lower lip nervously. Her eyes were looking at me in a way they don’t usually. Her eyes kept changing from time to time. She quickly ran her tongue over her lower lips before pulling her eyes away from me. I took a deep breath, not used to her being this way around me. She was flirting with me and I didn’t know how to respond to that. “In case if Adams asks, tell him we have been casually seeing each other for a couple of weeks, Okay? And thought to appear publicly together this week.” “Why? I mean it is for just one night, right?” “Because if we tell him that you are my lover just for the night and he will figure it out why I am taking you. That’s why, we will tell him that we have been casually seeing each other for a couple of weeks, which includes sex as well.” I spilled the water which I had in my mouth and started coughing when I heard the last part. “What?”, Luna asked casually, raising her brow. “You have to tell more and more lies. That’s it.” “Oh really! What should I say if he asks? Yes, Stacy and I fuck each other?" I asked and immediately regretted my choice of words. “Exactly.”, She winked with a smirk. “By the way, who knew that you can talk in this way, Beta Derek?”, She added. “Those people who are close to me.”, I laughed, shaking my head. We have always maintained a professional relationship so there was no way she would have known this side. Luna Stacey told me about all the other lies that we could say if anyone crosses questions us. It sounded like I had to keep lying that whole night, with everyone, about everything. I was nervous at the same time because I was not used to attending events like that, not as a guest, but like guards for safety purposes or related to pack’s work. I knew some people would be talking because they would think of me as an opportunist. How cliche...The Luna and the Beta. Maybe agreeing to this was not such a good idea after all. Too late, I doubt that I could change my mind now. *** “I think we need to go home. You have had too much to drink.” “Yes, I think you are right!”, Luna laughed. “Come on, I will take you home.”, “Oh, that’s naughty. Are you planning to have sex with me?”, She asked, grinning like an idiot. While I was shocked to hear her. She was really not in her senses. “I didn’t mean in that way, Luna”, I replied sternly. “Yeah! Yeah! But there’s no harm in flirting with you, right?”, She said, rolling her eyes, getting to her feet, and stumbled slightly. “Careful”, I grabbed her, holding her up. I helped her into the car before running around and climbing in the driver’s seat. “Take me to my penthouse. I don’t want anyone… “....to see you in this state.”, I said, interrupting her in between. “I know.”, I added. I drove her car to the penthouse and expected her to hop out of it on her own but it seemed like she had drunk too much compared to other nights. #TBC
